I went ahead and ordered a 66 quart, So plastic wrap is enough of a cover for the lid? the problem is my containers lid is colored so ill have to cut it and wrap it in plastic wrap.

I have found the top does not need to be a part of the deal if the rest of the tub is clear, I stopped making the lid thing, easier to stack them, hint hint...

awesome, you saved me a headache down the road. Your the best!
I guess the last questions i have on this process is making the tub. What size holes are best and how many per container of that size?
sorry i couldnt figure out from the pictures. Is it 1/4 holes along the substrate and a larger hole up top for gas exchange?

that is the part you gotta work out, I use multiple smaller holes, like 1/4" and tape them, you can always adjust by pulling off the tape or putting more on. Remember you are creating an ecosystem, temps and airflow of the room make tubs perform differently, Every tub you will watch and learn then tweak. It is not hard if you do what you do, learning a tek. You will have good yields with this sub, guarenteed, but will find ways to improve the tubs.

I'll spend some time researching tubs and see what i can learn from them.
Thanks so much for all the help. the sub will indeed be awesome, it covers all the bases for cube growth. I cannot wait to get started with it. I will make grain quart jars up asap so i can get the 6 quarts needed to do a grow.
probably going to be B+ jars.

I saw you on a shroomery thread, search usernames large_dose and Ohm for tub info and great threads.

What do you mean by saying you pulled the tub? Your fruiting it already? Do you not wait an additional week for the myc to consolidate it's hold on the sub?

It is ready to fruit as soon as colonized at 10 - 14 days, are you thinking about brf jars?
I should have knots at or before 5 days, pins by 7, fruit by 11
Today...
in fact you can see knots forming in the myc pics

I'm fairly sure all substrates benefit from an additional week after colonization so the myc can consolidate it's hold... I'm sure you have heard this, is there a reason you fruit immediately with your monotubs? I hope it's not laziness... Try waitng 5-7 days after full colonization and watch your pinset improve
Mad props though mate! Still the best RUI monotub grow! Cheers

An extra week sounds like a year of curing.
